    Ciao,
    reading in the forum I found many users who used hall effect pots instead of standard pots. I bought these.
    6127V1A180L.5FS SENSORE, HALL, 0,2V, +20V TO -10V, PIN
    https://it.farnell.com/bi-technolog...s/sensore-hall-0-2v-20v-to-10v-pin/dp/2319662
    I tried with the tester to read the values but I do not read any value. Should they be electrically powered to read the values, or have I mistaken the type of product?
    If I have the wrong product you can advise me which one to buy to replace POT 5V 10k 180/270 °

    Thanks for your help

    Ciao noorbeast,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I used the racingmat software following his tutorial:
    https://www.xsimulator.net/author/racingmat/
    From the answer I think I understand that I can not replace the standard POT with a hall effect type!

    The standard POT unfortunately break quickly!

    Ciao e grazie
